Tattoos began as part of rituals of different tribes and ethnic groups. Before, it is used to signify a meaningful phase in the life of those who are to be given the symbol. The ritual is rather long and painful for the one having it done, but this thought is not entertained by him, for having the said sign is far more important. Nowadays, everyone can get their own tattoo, and there is no need for a ritual or a formal procedure before it can be obtained. Even girls opt to have their skins permanently become a canvass of an art work, and most of them choose designs that depict their character and personality, and of the most commonly sought after design is the Hawaiian flower tattoos.

Flower designs, such as the Hawaiian flower tattoos, are more than just a beautiful piece of art enduringly pasted on a pretty girl's skin. According to some experts, the flower is the perfect symbol of nurturing and flourishing. It embodies both the earth and the life. Among the famous flowers, Hawaiian flowers are given special attention, for they are symbols of hospitality and friendship. Maybe this is the reason why a lot of people go for the Hawaiian flower tattoos.

What is the name of the short-lived tv show about a young grom who could turn into a surfboard?

I remember seeing a screening of this show one time when I went to a competition in Hawaii. I think it starred John john, Luke Davis, or someone like that. It was about to grom who needed surfboards for a competition so they asked a Hawaiian god for some. He turn one of the groms into a surfboard and his friend used him to surf. He later found out that he could transform from human form to board form with his own free will. He had many funny adventures were he transfrom ramdomly, like in class or PE. At the end of each show he and his friend would win a surf compeltion.
Does anyone remember the name of this show?

Dud, I so remember that show. I don't recall the name, but I do remember the tagline: 'John was a great surfer, but an even greater surfboard.'
